• Distance Texture – use procedurally generated textures to create a wide range of effects based on the distance between various objects in the scene
• Multi-sub Texture – assign different textures based on object ID • Light Select Render Element – extract the contribution of each light to the scene, change their intensity in post-production and compose them back together • Stereoscopic Helper – quickly set up stereoscopic images and animations • Lens Analysis Utility – easily match the distortion of your real world and your virtual cameras • Lens effects – add a full range of bloom and glare effects
On day two of the show, the team will present a “Rendering and Lighting” seminar which will integrate the new features of V-Ray 2.0 for 3ds Max and Maya and teach attendees how to achieve interactive set-up of their main rendering components. Topics of this discussion include:
• Lighting & Rendering – advanced custom Sun & Sky usage and Image Based Lighting • Realistic Materials – complex materials set-up • Advanced Camera Matching – stereoscopy, lens effects, distortion and depth of field • Production Quality Rendering – new GI techniques
• Advanced Compositing – new tips and techniques for compositing This second workshop will take place on Wednesday, May 4th in Raum Karlsruhe from 11.00-12.00h.
